ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Following a stellar performance at the Badger Invitational, Illinois State junior David Perkins has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Men's Golfer of the Week.
Perkins placed in a tie for third place individually, while helping the Redbirds to the Invitational title by four strokes over Kansas and eight strokes over Iowa State.
The East Peoria, Illinois, native stumbled out of the gate, opening the tournament with a two-over 74; however, responded strong as he tied a course collegiate record with a seven-under 65, including a blistering 30 (-6) on the final nine holes of the day.
